Hi, Lars, on Donnerstag, 20. Mai 2004 at 02:57 you wrote to amanda-users: Just a wild guess because it is not exactly clear from your posting: Note that backuphost gives you the error. The file arcad
... Nice approach. Another approach, if ACL's are unavailable or ?overkill?, would be to give the directory world execute permission (751). Then a process could access a specific file if it "knows it

By the same token, I'm not familiar with ACLs, but it looks to me as though you gave the "amanda" user "rwx" permissions on the home directories. It should suffice to give that user "x" on /export/ho

Hi, Amanda will always give an error if it can't access the exclude file unless it's a ENOENT (no such file) with the optional option. It's a configuration mistake, you told amanda to use a file and

Yes, JLM pointed out another thing I did not know. amcheck does not consider it an error for the file to not exist, it is listed as "optional". But amcheck does consider it an error if the file has t
